Sanctus Posted January 27, 2014 Share Posted January 27, 2014 I had been having some issues with my evod on an inno battery and I was going to the shop today to get it looked at. I'm an overzealous noob that doesn't really know what he's doing yet so I probably shouldn't have tried to recoil it haha. While I was there I figured I might as well go ahead and upgrade to my first apv. I looked at many, tried the itaste, the zmax, and the provari that people talk about so much. I will eventually get a provari but I didn't want to get in over my head. I walked out with a SID. LOOOOOOOVE it so far. It's perfect for someone like me who is still new to vaping. It's good enough to be respected by the vaping community but simple enough to be fun and easy to use. I bought a vivi Nova and a trophy tank which to my understanding is a clone of the protank. My battery is a 2000mah IMR High drain which once again to my understanding is the best battery to have. I love this thing guys. I'm so happy with it. It's sturdy. It's not as heavy as the zmax but it isn't light at all. I feel like I good use it as a tomahawk haha. I've messed with the voltage and wattage and I think I've found my sweet spot for now. I got it from Nashville Vapor. Staff there is amazing plus one of my friends works there. I'm all for supporting local business and that store is definitely worthy of my support. It's a bit of a drive for me as It's on a different side of Nashville for me but with the quality of service and the variety of products it is most certainly worth it. So, here's my very short term review. I've had this thing about three hours now. Vapor production- fantastic. Tons of it. Flavor - the trophy tank tastes better right now, probably because I need to alter the settings for the nova? yes? No? haha. I'm still stupid as far as things like this go. Durability - I doubt this will be an issue for me. I never dropped my last pv and I've never even dropped my phone haha. It feels sturdy, nothing is wiggling, etc. Looks- exactly what I want. Mine is silver. It's a very simple design, but not dull. It's very nice. It's dull silver finish so it isn't overly bright when light is on it. Menu- so simple to use. The screen is clear enough to see anywhere, but it isn't annoyingly bright. Very simple to go through the menu and change things. Much easier to use than I thought it would be. Overall - if you're looking for your first apv, take a look at the sid. I'm enjoying it so far. Also, if you live in the middle Tennessee area, please go check out Nashville Vapor. Wonderul employees, very cool looking store, has a lounge, etc. This probably isn't a very detailed review since I'm still a noob but I think it might still help some other noobs out. spydre 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sanctus Posted January 28, 2014 Author Share Posted January 28, 2014 Thanks. Forgot to add something. During the review I was using the Trophy tank. I'm having some difficulty dialing the nova in. On certain voltages it taste great but without massive Vapor clouds while on other settings it taste a little like chemically metal weirdness with massive amounts of vapor.

Tw1sted Posted January 28, 2014 Share Posted January 28, 2014 (edited) I'm not familar with the SID, but there is an option to check the resistance of the atomizer/cartomizer (ViVi Nova head) once you know the resistance you can look at one of the charts available on the net http://www.vaporsworld.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/04/power-vaping-chart-lg.jpg and play around with the voltage settings based on the reccomendations on the chart to find your "sweet spot" - the voltage is probably too high and that's why you're getting the metallic taste and massive amounts of vapor.

Thanks! I've been told It's like a combination of the zmax and the vamo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlkiDweller Posted January 29, 2014 Share Posted January 29, 2014 I also have the SID. I read somewhere that the Joyetech eVic / eGo-T 18350 Battery MOD Tube will fit the SID so I picked one up from Smoke Evolution for $11. Now I have a mini SID.

Sanctus Posted January 30, 2014 Author Share Posted January 30, 2014 I like the size of the sid. Fits perfectly in my back pocket. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sanctus Posted February 1, 2014 Author Share Posted February 1, 2014 Update on the sid. Still working great. Took it to 15 Watts today. Amazing. Really good product. Next purchase will be a blackhawk Panzer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
